G'day LloydRice,

You appear to have answers to your questions from various monks.

Seeing the amount of code you wrote for your tests, I thought I'd introduce you to the built-in module Test::More.

I don't have Perl running on an MSWin platform (so I can't duplicate your exact tests) but the following should give you an idea of how much coding this module can save you. I also think that, with the substantially reduced code, the tests themselves become far more obvious and the code is more readable and maintainable. 

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 3;

ok(-e '/Users/ken/tmp/Sample Music', 'Single quotes');
ok(-e "/Users/ken/tmp/Sample Music", 'Double quotes');
ok(-e "'/Users/ken/tmp/Sample Music'", 'Single quotes in double quotes
+');

Output:

1..3
ok 1 - Single quotes
ok 2 - Double quotes
not ok 3 - Single quotes in double quotes
#   Failed test 'Single quotes in double quotes'
#   at ./pm_example.pl line 10.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.
